Brazil Launches Five-Year Anti-Corruption Plan

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Brazilian government on Wednesday, December 9th, launched the 2020-2025 Anti-corruption Plan to fight graft.

President Jair Bolsonaro signed the document at a ceremony at government headquarters attended by the Federal Comptroller General Wagner Rosario, and other top officials.
